GHSA-8frh-vhgh-64cf

Snipe-IT has incorrect permission for legacy license checkin API

Quick fix

GHSA-8frh-vhgh-64cf — snipe/snipe-it: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

composer require snipe/snipe-it:^8.6.2

Details

### Impact The legacy single-seat license checkin flow authorizes the action with the `checkout` permission instead of the `checkin` permission. Because of this, a user who is allowed to assign licenses but not unassign them can still directly access the old checkin endpoint and reclaim a license seat that is currently assigned to another user or asset.
